2)This outwards forces increases the force tyres must overcome to turn the bike (green). The latest devices, on seat unit and belly pan are specifically designed to generate downwards force at high lean angles, increasing grip at the apex rather than a straight line. 3)The seat device also helps balance the downforce produced, front to rear weight distribution is key, similarly with downforce, more is not al-ways better, adding some rear you can then add even more at the front for the same ‘balance’ In that photo, if the rider’s body is effectively sealing the gap with the ground… does it create a Venturi tunnel (and generate ground effect) through the gap between the rider and the fairing? Difficult to achieve the right shape I’d imagine. The rider is too bluff an object to be any sort of effective, but this is what the fairing lower is doing exactly this.

Mat Oxley:Love the built-in sensor holders in the KTM RC16's WP front forks Peter Bom: It's actually a connector box Mat, sort of a splitter to the 3 sensors connectors. so much more tidy at ktm.

Mat Oxley: Since Jorge Martin is posting frankly ridiculous photos of himself doing Turn 11 (I think) with his shoulder on the ground, this is what he looks like in normal life
